I know nothing about 1/4 mile times so ive asked a man that does.
Terminal speed is an accurate indication of Power.

Took known data ie my own cars 11.8 @ 127mph at a Daddy Thrash in 2002 told him the weight of the car & he put the info in his calculator it came back 499bhp Wow! thats correct it was Dynoed at 504bhp.

Put the given weight of this car into the calculator & the Terminal of 160 & guess what 740bhp to run that terminal.
Then used 1089bhp & guess what that would have run a 186mph terminal.

There you go facts.
